HLASM Programmer's Guide
SC26-4941-06

Wrong target symbol type; value left unchanged - xxxxxxxx

Explanation

The SET symbol in the name field has already been declared, and is a different type to the type of SETx instruction. For example, you might have previously declared a SET symbol as arithmetic (SETA), and you are attempting to use the SET symbol as the target of a SETC instruction.

System action

The statement is ignored.

Programmer response

Make the declaration agree with the SET statement type. If you want to store across SET symbol types, first store into a SET symbol of matching type, and then use another SETx instruction to store the value, represented by the matching SET symbol, into the non- matching SET symbol.

Severity

8
